Does anyone have experience using the `vtkInteractorStyleFlight`? It appears to not really work (no key bindings do anything) but the mouse click events will move the camera, you just cannot see where until you let off the mouse:

I’m wondering if there is a way I could at least update the renderer during the camera movement to be able to “drvie” the camera around the scene

And then I’m wondering if I could hack together a bunch of keypress events to trigger movements with the interactor so that I can use the keyboard.

Anyone of ever tried this? Or have another way to get the same effect of “flying” around the scene?
